EP5: On the origin of “On the Origin of Species” [~1861 CE]

Ryan gaslights Charles Darwin about who really wrote The Origin of Species and orders the scientist to give him a piggyback across town.

PastMaster is the time-travel role-playing adventure show where Ryan, Keon and Tan explore a different era of history each episode with the help of our AI GameMaster.

Under the acronym Ryland Mulchroneforth, Ryan heads to London during the Industrial Revolution where he bumps into eminent scientist Charles Darwin in a pub.

Unable to resist taking credit for someone else’s work, Ryan browbeats the great man into accepting it is possible Ryan actually wrote The Origin of Species before demanding Darwin give him a piggyback ride to the Royal Society.

Oh yes, and just to make things more interesting Game Master this week is played by Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And oh yes, this week we must also never say the word ‘cheese’…
